Movie Review-The Possession

So I just came from Movie Tavern and I must say that if I could get those 92 wasted minutes of my life back, I’d be a happy woman. Based on a true story, “allegedly”, The Possession tries to scare audiences with loud screams, moths and camera trickery. Hollywood pulled out all the stops apparently, but the movie failed miserably in my opinion.

I am not a fan of horror movies or thrillers, especially those rated PG-13 like The Possession is, but I’ve seen my fair share of them. With that being said, I know when I am genuinely scared versus being tricked to horror.

The Possession is a mix between “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” (epic fail) and any other movie about a possessed child. It is a copycat of horror films. How the child is exorcised is heavily anticipated but unfortunately fell flat. I don’t want to spoil the film for those that haven’t seen it, but I will say that Jeffrey Dean Morgan carried the movie.

From an actress’ standpoint, it was nice to see new faces in the film. The two little girls that played the daughters of Morgan were refreshing to see. I secretly celebrate their excitement working on a new film. They didn’t take the Disney route or some small role in a sitcom, so kudos to them. It’s still unknown where The Possession will take their careers, but I’m routing for them undoubtedly.

Overall, there was no A-list filled cast for The Possession and for horror films that seems to be the formula. Who wants to see their favorite actor die or be possessed? Although it is for entertainment, it would be an unprecedented move to include too many stars in a horror film and expect it to be a blockbuster.

Basically, if I could I would ask for a full refund from Movie Tavern. Luckily I received a free ticket for my new membership with Movie Tavern. You can too. Head over to movietavern.com and you’ll receive a free ticket for signing up and for your birthday!

Eternal Life Entertainment, LLC

I just came back from a meeting with the CEO of Eternal LifeEntertainment, LLC. I have the opportunity to put my PR skills to work and create buzz and excitement for an upcoming film he wrote, directed and produced. Upon meeting him, I was a little nervous but ultimately excited. Just to see someone’s dreams come to fruition gives me tremendous hope on my future talent agency and let’s me know that dreams do come true; as corny as that may sound. 

 Fredrick Manzo gave me his business card and of course I got on the World Wide Web to check the validity of his company. I had little doubt that he was legitimate but I wanted to first re-introduce myself to him through the eyes of a normal website visitor and the Internet gave me the chance to do so. 

The website, http://www.ele1.com, educates visitors about upcoming attractions like plays or films. The most important thing they offer is that of salvation. I am a Christian and I find great inspiration in those that are in the entertainment sector that don't compromise their salvation and relationship with Christ. As an undergrad in college I always wondered how I would merge my love of entertainment and music with the fact that I do not live, condone or want to live the lifestyle that the stereotypical celeb may live. I have a relationship with Christ and I want to keep up my end because I know He will keep up His ends when it comes to the promises God.

Moving forward, I won’t have to explain much to Fredrick because with us both being Christians we move by faith and not by sight if things were ever to get shaky. I HAVE to get one the O1NE shirts, V-neck of course because they are so cute, sleek and carry a message to those who may not know God.

 Their mission statement is both informational and stable with a goal to help others. With my company, I want to do the same. Helping others find their real selves by participating in the things they enjoy most brings me great reward and it seems the same for Eternal Life Entertainment, LLC.

Whether I work for them or not, I support the ministry whole-heartedly. You should too, go check them out at http://www.ele1.com.
